Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess Chapter 730 - Escape at Night

Chapter 730 Escape at Night

It turned out that Hou Yuetian actually had such a story.

Lin Mengya gazed at him with her eyes gradually softening and nodded.

Hou Yuetian’s words might not be entirely true.

But she knew that even if he tried to make an excuse to deceive her, he would never use his mother as an excuse.

“If that’s the case, let’s travel together. Actually, traveling with us may do no good to you. These days you should be able to tell that we’re beset by crisis,” Lin Mengya said.

Since she said so, it meant that at least she would no longer treat Hou Yuetian as an enemy.

Hou Yuetian, who understood what she meant, suddenly stood up, bowed deeply to her and said, “Thank you, Miss. If we can get to the Nation of Dongxia safely, I, Hou Yuetian, will definitely perform my duty as host and do all I can to help you.”

As a smart person, he certainly knew that if he continued traveling with Miss Su and her brother, he and his company would encounter many difficulties.

However, it was undeniable that he and his company were also beset with crisis right now.

Even if they were to travel on their own, they might not be able to arrive at the Nation of Dongxia safely.

He might as well travel with Miss Su and her brother, who were not ordinary people and led a group of capable people, which could offer him and his company a better chance of arriving at the Nation of Dongxia safely.

“Don’t mention it. By the way, I’m wondering what medicinal material are you looking for, Mr. Hou?” Lin Mengya asked.

Knowing that Lin Mengya was proficient in medical skill, Hou Yuetian immediately told her about his mother’s illness, the prescription and the missing medicinal material without hiding anything.

“It turns out that the poison in your mother’s body has spread to her heart as she has run out of heart blood. I suppose the physician giving you this prescription must have used a moderate method to improve your mother’s health condition, right? The prescription is not bad, but I suppose if you can find a hot spring, put the medicinal powder in it and then let your mother bath in it every day, the medicine will do no harm to your mother’s body,” Lin Mengya said.

She had always appreciated those as straightforward as Hou Yuetian, who presented the prescription to her without hesitation.

She pointed out the only small flaw in the prescription out of kindness. Unexpectedly, Hou Yuetian was even more amazed by her, such a sickly and intelligent girl.

The prescription was given by the best famous doctor in the Nation of Dongxia.

Ordinary doctors would be amazed at the doctor’s miraculous medical skill after glancing over the prescription, and it was impossible for them to point out the flaw in it.

Despite her young age, Miss Su knew a lot about pharmacology and medical science. Now, Hou Yuetian became even more curious about her real ident.i.ty.

“What on earth is her family background?” He involuntarily wondered.

“Don’t look at me like that. I can only tell you that my teacher is one of the top medical masters in the world. As for other things, Mr. Hou, I think someone as smart as you won’t get to the bottom of it, right?” After finishing speaking, Lin Mengya, who had no intention of showing off, tilted her head and showed a playful smile at Hou Yuetian.

Perhaps considering her mother, she had more respect for all the other mothers around the world.

However, the Empress, who had committed monstrous crimes for her children, was an exception.

“Well, I understand,” Hou Yuetian said.

They nodded at each other, both well aware that since neither of them was completely frank, they could only hear some words, that were partly genuine and partly sham.

Nevertheless, being relatively frank with each other greatly eased the atmosphere between the two of them.

Although Hou Yuetian did not know why Lin Mengya cared so much about this matter, he had a rather deep a.n.a.lysis of it.

The two of them instantly began to exchange their views on this matter.

“Given the extermination of Witch w.a.n.g’s Family and the murder of Mrs. Huang, it seems that someone intended to murder them to prevent divulgence of his secret,” Hou Yuetian said with a serious look in his eyes.

Even the soldiers on the battlefield killed the enemy as they had to do so.

What was more, he smelled the scent of conspiracy from this strange thing.

“Yes, it’s true that someone intended to murder them to prevent divulgence of his secret. Besides, based on what the old man said today, I make a wild guess,” Lin Mengya said.

Apart from the evil method to get pregnant, there was almost no connection between Witch w.a.n.g and Mrs. Huang.

That was to say, their being murdered could only be related to this matter.

The old man had said that the Mountain Deity only allowed the families with no daughter and unmarried sons to leave here.

She couldn’t help thinking of the weird thing happening to Mrs. Huang, who had suffered a miscarriage three years ago and even lost her womb mysteriously.

In this case, were the members of the twelve families, that had also been killed, related to this matter?

Besides, who sent the old man to tell them all the information? What was his purpose?

All of these were like a mystery to her.

She believed as long as they found the clue to this mystery, all the problems would be solved readily.

This was the reason why she agreed to let Qinghu go to inquire his two subordinates, who had been missing and suddenly showed up, about what had happened to them.

She was wondering what information Qinghu would get.

“Qinghu has not come back after leaving for such a long time. Did he get into any trouble?

“Nevertheless, there is probably no one in such a small town capable of getting Qinghu, such a master in martial arts, into trouble,” she thought.

After chatting with Hou Yuetian for a long time, Lin Mengya looked out of the window frequently and became suspicious.

Even if Qinghu was delayed by something, he should have sent someone back to inform her.

Qinghu did not show up outside the window until she waited from dusk to midnight and became a little uneasy.

To Lin Mengya’s surprise, Qinghu looked ghastly pale.

After entering the room, he began to pack up Lin Mengya’s things neatly without saying anything or even glancing at Hou Yuetian.

Seeing him acting so abnormally, Lin Mengya realized there must be something unexpected.

Lin Mengya did not stop him and merely smiled apologetically at Hou Yuetian. The latter nodded at her sensibly and left their room with his book on the art of war.

“Are we leaving now?” Lin Mengya asked.

Seeing Qinghu keep silent, she felt more and more uneasy.

Qinghu’s reaction only meant one thing.

“Yes, we must leave here immediately before they discover us,” Qinghu said.

Feeling her heart skip a beat, Lin Mengya froze for a moment.

Although Qinghu did not make it clear, she was well aware of whom Qinghu was talking about.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Mengya casually handed over the things within reach to Qinghu.

Qinghu lifted his head. Seeing her acquiescent gesture, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I thought you would...”

Lin Mengya shook her head with a bitter smile as she started to help Qinghu pack their bags.

Meanwhile, she said, “Did you think that I would insist on staying here to find out the truth so as to put you and me in a perilous position? I’m not a fool. This situation here has lasted for a period. Even if we manage to find out the truth now, we may not be able to solve it completely. In that case, why should we risk our lives? Moreover, besides us, others can also handle this, right?”

No one other than the group of scourges in the Candle Dragon Cult could frighten Qinghu so terribly that he even had to run away after learning that they were coming.

However, the Candle Dragon Cult’s involvement in this meant that there must be an unknown cruel conspiracy in this town.

Although she could not find out the truth in person, it did not mean that the government of Dajin would not take action.

Although the Candle Dragon Cult was powerful, it did not necessarily dare to interfere in the operation of a country on the surface.

They must know that the water that bore the boat was the same that swallowed it up.

If the Candle Dragon Cult pushed Dajin too far so that Dajin united several other countries against it, it would have a hard time.

However, it would be a piece of cake for them to get rid of Lin Mengya and Qinghu without being noticed.

Without the t.i.tle of Princess Yu, she no longer attracted the attention of the entire Dajin.

Now she was insignificant to the Candle Dragon Cult.

They could kill her easily.

Soon, she finished packing her belongings. After that, she told Qinghu to inform Hou Yuetian and even left some of her clothing and other valuables in the inn.

Under the cover of darkness, they jumped down from the second floor of the inn through the window without alarming anyone.

Qinghu carried Lin Mengya, who was wrapped in a black rob, running on the empty street.

Lin Mengya clung to Qinghu’s chest nervously.

As she learned how powerful the Candle Dragon Cult was, she was increasingly aware how insignificant and incompetent she was.

She didn’t know what she had done in the last life so that she had to go against the Candle Dragon Cult in this life.

She was secretly lamenting her fate when she felt Qinghu was gradually coming to a stop.

After a while, she was gently placed in a carriage, where the seat was covered with a quilt.

“Get a sleep, and we’ll be safe after you wake up,” Qinghu said.

After settling her down in the carriage, he turned around and mounted his horse.

Lin Mengya sat in the carriage obediently. Through the window, she saw the hooves of the horses those people around the carriage were riding were all wrapped in thick cotton cloth.

In this way, they could travel silently even at night.

Qinghu, who was at the forefront, waved his hand and the caravan set out immediately.

Nothing other than their breathing indicated that this was a caravan about to leave.

Lin Mengya lay in the carriage, that was not as luxurious as the one she had taken before.

But she didn’t feel any uncomfortable because both the seat and the floor of carriage were covered with soft quilts.

The carriage quickly got out of the town. So far, they had not been discovered.

But she knew it was still too early to feel relieved, as the temple for the Mountain Deity, that determined the life and death of all the residents of the town, was not far ahead.

This was the only way out of town. If they did not take this path, they could either go back to the village, where Mrs. Tian lived, by the way they came or get into a pitch-black jungle.
